An Empirical Evaluation of Proposed Stockage Policies for Recoverable Item Management.

摘要

This paper presents the results of a simulation study to evaluate the relative performance of 13 specific methods proposed for the management of Air Force recoverable items. Each proposed method consists of distinct rules for initial provisioning, replenishment, and distribution of Air Force recoverable items. METRIC, MOD-METRIC, Variable Safety Level (VSL), and AFLCR 57-27 computation methods are components of several of the rules evaluated. The study uses actual Air Force demand histories to drive a simulation model of the Air Force supply system. (Author)
